Kitchen Cuddles

I've often heard that the kitchen is the heart of the home and I agree. I love having a large kitchen with plenty of room for everyone to have their hand in the preparing of dinner. Don't get me wrong, family meal preparation doesn't happen every night and it certainly doesn't happen without a good many 'issues'. But when it does, we have a great time!

In my kitchen my most commonly used items have names. For example, my drawer contains many pairing knives but my two favorites are Slice and Dice. They're twins. One was a gift from my husband and I loved it so much I bought myself another. It's nice having more than one 'good' knife so that more than one person can be, well...Sliceing and Diceing at the same time. When I need a knife and ask for someone to bring me one, I could receive any one of the knives in our kitchen....but when I ask for Slice or Dice...they know what I'm talking about. Makes for a much smoother Mother/Daughter tandam.

Our kitchen and dinning room is combined and allows for plenty of room to lounge, read, play board games, use the computer...enjoy each others company. And when all is done around the aromas of a cooking dinner it makes these long, cold and rainy winters days much more enjoyable.

quick stop to say hello! ..our younger daughter is bringing home her boyfriend for us to meet, so I should be finishing with my pick up of my art and sewing stuff!!! Oh well...trying to get some blog time in too! :o)

Love the idea of "Slice and Dice"! I have my favorite-reach-for kitchen must haves too :o)

Love that you have a big kitchen for all your kiddies to gather around :o)

Tori - We will be leaving for furlough the first week of June and will only be there three months. Our prayer is that we will have a house sitter while we're gone to care for our house/yard/animals. We have no plans to change locations or houses. Just a quick trip home to give a quick report and raise a little extra support and visit family. Praying we can do it all in the three months....hope you are all enjoying your time Stateside!

If this is your first time visiting PORTUGAL BOUND, let me say thank you for stopping byand my prayer is that you receive a blessing while here. Portugal Bound was first started in October of 2007 while our family of seven was in preparation to move to the mission field of northern Portugal. However, we are no longer 'bound' for Portugal, we're here and loving it, I'm just not creative enough to change the name. But if you've got a minute, grab a cup of coffee, and take a look around.
